A '''FootballSoccer Ball''', also called a '''Soccer BallFootball''', is the main focus of the games ''[[MarioSuper SmashMario FootballStrikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]''. In these games, players have to gain control of the FootballSoccer Ball and kick it into the goal, something done with either normal kicks, charge shots, [[Super Strike]]s (''Super Mario Smash FootballStrikers''), [[Mega Strike]]s (''Mario Strikers Charged Football''), or [[Skillshot]]s. A normal kick, a charged shot, and a Skillshot result in one point; a Super Strike will score a player two, while a Mega Strike can offer up to six for a team.

In ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'', the footballsoccer ball is made out of metal, which emits a light that indicates the power of the ball. The ball tends to emit a purple light when unused. In this case, shooting the ball results making a failed score. However, charging the ball by passing or charging the shot, players can turn the light into red, yellow and white, the last indicating the ball is charged enough to make an accurate goal.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the FootballSoccer Ball appears as an item, appearing with its design from ''Super Mario Smash FootballStrikers''. This item cannot be grabbed, however, and to use it, it must be attacked, which will send it flying as it catches on fire and propels across the stage. The footballsoccer ball does not follow an arc when it is attacked. Rather, it will shoot off in a straight line before suddenly losing all momentum and dropping to the ground, or off the stage. If it hits anyone in mid-air, they will be flung away. It is also a trophy that can be randomly unlocked.
